Strawberry Banana Cheesecake Salad (With Video)

Simple Strawberry Banana Cheesecake Salad recipe comes together with just 6 ingredients. Rich and creamy cheesecake filling is folded into luscious strawberries and sweet banana to create the most amazing, glorious fruit salad ever! The flavor has been punched up with a secret ingredient and you are going to go nuts over this recipe! The king of the potluck table has arrived.

A few months back I put together this Summer Berry Cheesecake Salad. Well, needless to say it has gone completely crazy on our site. It is already the #2 recipe of all time.

Our readers have enjoyed it so much that I though it was time to whip up a twist on the über popular recipe. I have been on a pudding kick lately. I tell you I have been testing several recipes with pudding as a surprise ingredient.

It is crazy how much pudding mix amps up the flavor of a recipe. So, when I was thinking of ways to twist up the cheesecake salad, I knew I needed to use pudding. It really kicks it up a notch.

I combined cream cheese, pudding mix and coffee creamer to create a spectacular rich and creamy cheesecake filling. In the fruit mixture, I squeezed fresh lemon juice over sliced strawberries and bananas. That prevents the bananas from browning, but it also gives the cheesecake salad a little brightness and zing!

This new summer salad is so good it is sure to take the place of your favorite fruit salad. And say goodbye to Aunt Ida's ambrosia salad and HELLO to Strawberry Banana Cheesecake Salad. The new queen of the summer picnic table.

We couldn't stop eating it, and you're going to go bananas over it too! <- Sorry, pun intended. I couldn't help myself.

Helpful Tips to make Strawberry Banana Cheesecake Salad:

• Do not pour all of the creamer into the cream cheese at once. It will get clumpy and no matter how long you beat it, it will stay that way. Trust me on this one.
• If you have to substitute for the creamer, use 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
• To make this ahead: prepare the cheesecake mixture and refrigerate in a bowl. Mix all of the fruit in a large bowl and refrigerate. Before serving, drain any excess liquid from the fruit and then fold the cheesecake filling into the fruit. Serve and enjoy!

What you will need to make Strawberry Banana Cheesecake Salad:

• Electric Hand Mixer - I have had this one in my kitchen for ever (it seems like) at least 8 years.
  
• Instant Cheesecake Pudding - this is my favorite to use in my cheesecake salads.

Enjoy!
